Telkomsel, Indonesia's largest mobile operator has selected Ericsson for a full radio transformation in Indonesia's Kalimantan region. Telkomsel upgrades its existing GSM and WCDMA/HSPA mobile network to improve subscriber experience and prepare the region for the eventual rollout of 4G/LTE.
The upgrade will ensure that Telkomsel's network is equipped with multi-standard radio base stations for GSM and WCDMA/HSPA(3G) that can meet the rapidly increasing data demands and boost mobile broadband network performance, said Ericsson. The transformation project includes the introduction of Ericsson's RBS 6320, a low-cost, main remote enclosure product, developed for tropical climates.

This contract makes us a key partner for Telkomsel through this transformation and further strengthens our longstanding relationship.
